Love the clever post!

April Fools. Nice job.

I do love the benches though.

Good One!! You had this fish on the line until the last paragraph.

Ah Loof…I wondered what happened to him. I haven’t seen him for at least a year. Strange fellow that Loof.
Seemed like a very competent woodworker but I occasionally found him to cut twice and then measure once. At times he didn’t seem to know his forsner bit from a hole in the ground…he was a pretty backward fellow who some described as Maximum Deficient Fellow, a condition often referred to as MDF. It’s pretty obvious that
Loof lied on his application about his true identity and for that reason he was dismissed.

Maximum Deficient Fellow, Maximum Decent Fellow, all the same, they finish last at least once a year. Nice call gbear.

One of the guys I used to work with was a loafer and he got fired because of that. Aloof, a loaf and a laugh.

-- I just got done cutting three boards and all four of them were too short. (true story)

LOL, nice! Did you really construct those benches for an April Fools joke? or just the edging :-)

-- Sneaking up on the line....

Heh heh heh. :)

-- It was supposed to be simple.

Nice one. At least here people laugh at april fools jokes. I posted one at router forums about the release of a new Bosch Xtra plunge router and got chastized for wasting the admins time ?!

Thanks for the smile.

It is also Palm Sunday.

You got me! I read the email note this morning and totally believed it. After your recent bamboo bedroom, I know that you get into some really intriguing projects. The light clicked on when I saw Lof’s picture on the project page. Thanks for starting my day with a smile.

Don Cutlip – It took me a while to figure it out too. I don’t want to spill the beans entirely, but here is a hint… consider how strange it would be if someone refered to you as Piltuc Nod.
